The End Of The Line

As the time slips through your fingers Till it's almost time to go
And the morning breaks between us and the ice melts into snow.
I'm alright loving you, I'm alright loving you

(Chorus)
Love and other bruises didn't have to choose us
But it did and I'm alive and I'm trying to survive
Love and other bruises makes us all good losers
I can't help it talking loud it's because I'm on a cloud.

Won't you please take me home
Won't you please please take me home
I'm so mixed up over you, I don't want to be alone.
I'm alright loving you, I'm alright loving you

(Repeat Chorus)

Teach Me To Run (3:59)
(Graham Russell)

If I've got to run instead of feeling proud
If I've got to find you in a big wide crowd
No doubt the country side is waiting for me
There ain't no answer to what I say.

ow that I've found my soul I'm free
Back to the highway that's calling me
There must be reasons why I've got to hide
There ain't no answer to what I say

(Chorus)
I'm standing alone my money's all gone
So throw me a gun and teach me to run
I'm standing alone my money's all gone
So throw me a gun and teach me to run

Here I stand I'm a wanted man
Living in the shadows wherever I can
There must be reasons why I've got to hide
There ain't no answer to what I say.

Chorus - (repeat and fade)

Empty Pages (3:55)
(Graham Russell)

When you're out in front and your life is unsure
What have you got goin' for you after every road you turn
It's magic when you tell me and run your fingers through my hair
I don't need your persuasion, cos I'm already there

I've just read it through and I said to myself
That's not really you, I'll keep myself to myself
It's magic when you tell me and write the words I want to see
When I reach the last line, it's just empty for me

I've been learning so long about the things you do
I've been learning so long about you, about you

(Chorus)
Empty pages I've read you all through
Empty pages filled with spaces, I fell in and I fell in
Empty pages I've read you all through
Empty pages filled with spaces, I fell in and I fell in.

Do What You Do (3:46)
(Graham Russell)

Do what you do 'cos you do it so well, so stand in my way
If only I knew what these eyes could not tell, what this mouth could not say
People are wrong but I'm right this time
I'm losing bad friends fast
Do what you do and keep it that way and this love will last

Do what you do when your lights are turned down and you wake up afraid
Think of the love that I have here for you and the wish will be made
Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine so do what you do

Waiting to put a foot in the door
Hoping to learn what you're never sure
Don't look too far it's here where you are

Only a cut of the deepest kind could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine so do what you do

Waiting to put a foot in the door
Hoping to learn what you're never sure
Don't look too far it's here where you are

That's How The Whole Thing Started (4:00)
(Graham Russell)

I feel just like your love tonight, so who's to say I'm wrong
I've got to say I feel just right, It's never been so strong, strong, strong

There seems so many points to make, but I feel this is a big mistake
We're so old and this is new and I've really got to tell you
I always said that we should remain free but that was up to you and not to me
I started strong but I've met someone, you know how long it's been

(Chorus)
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started

Baby baby it's wrong, but I've been in and out of love so long
Here we stand not more than friends, I broke your heart again
I've gone and met someone

(Chorus)

I feel just like your love tonight, so who's to say I'm wrong
I've got to say I feel just right, It's never been so strong, strong, strong

Secret Agent (3:25)
(Graham Russell)

Well I've got friends in the States and I've got friends out in space
When information's your game the whole world knows your name
And so they gave me a code to work this treacherous road
For all the agents I know must work incognito

(Chorus)
I love my trade, I've got my future made.

I put my life on the line to save this country of mine
And they reward me with love and see I have a good time.
So all my moves must be fast cos every day is my last
A secret agent that's slow almost certain to go.

(Chorus twice)

I've got friends in the States I've got friends out in space
When information's your game the whole world knows your name
And so they gave me a code to work this treacherous road
For all the agents I know must work incognito.

(Chorus)

Feel The Breeze (3:40)
(Graham Russell)

Since I met you how can I notice if the sky is blue or grey
But here I am standing outside looking into a cloudy day
This must be the time for reflection, my direction is not quite clear,
Now I feel the air is colder now I feel that winter's here.

(Chorus)
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter (Repeat)

I feel the breeze I feel dejected I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong
Winter's here and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun you cast a shadow, now I lead my lonely role.

(Chorus)

I feel the breeze I feel dejected I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong
Winter's here and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun you cast a shadow, now I lead my lonely role.

(Chorus)

Ready For You (4:26)
(Graham Russell)

Painted sands and makeshift hands take us round and round
Horizon clear, you'll soon be near and walking on the ground
I've been round the corner sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border, we can float into the night

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you

Cloudy Sky the wind is high and trying to break the spell
But I'll be here when you appear and see the night as well
A feeling's not a feeling if you can't believe it's true
I'd sooner be believing 'til the ship comes sailing thru'

(Chorus)

I've been round the corner sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border, we can float into the night

(Chorus)

Oh, I'm ready for you - (repeat and fade)

The Weight Is My Soul (3:15)
(Graham Russell)

In the night when you're lonely and you can't find a word for how you feel
There's a place that you know of where the lights are so low they're hardly real,
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight with a thought to set you free.

(Chorus)
The weight is my soul, the weight is my soul, come to me.

I can see through the streetlights where the evening air is turning round
All I hear is the hangin' of the moon and the stars on the sky.
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight with a thought to set you free.

(Chorus)

Have you thought of the times when your heart and your mind are free
Have you thought of the times when your heart and your mind are free
In the night when you're lonely and you can't find a word for how you feel,
There's a place that you know of where the lights are so low they're hardly real,
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight with a thought to set you free

(Chorus)

Do It Again (3:35)
(Graham Russell)

I used to watch you walk away, 'Til the road you take would bend
I was the man to turn you on and you knew it after all
Come tomorrow when I'm all weary, you would turn me down again
At least that's the way I can remember

Do it again, do it again, Do it again

Every little word you told me got home, I'm still thinking about them
Every little secret we could have known and we can't live without them
You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

And I do think about you each now and then and each time it gets tighter
From the road I can see the last break and my head's getting lighter
You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

I used to watch you walk away, 'Til the road you take would bend
I was the man to turn you on and you knew it after all
Come tomorrow when I'm all weary you would turn me down again
At least that's the way I can remember

Do it again, do it again, Do it again
Do it again, do it again, Do it again

Strangers In Love (3:27)
(Graham Russell)

Strangers in love must a star fall from the sky
It's stranger than most and stranger when we try to understand it all, why we fall,
As strangers in love, Strangers in love.

Straight from the farm and a world apart and ready for
Someone to take her arm, she's never seen a movie
What an innocent face, what an innocent place.

It's natural, it's an easy thing to do,
Natural, it's an easy thing to do.

Strangers in love and a star fell from the sky
Don't know which way to turn, don't know which boat to burn
Don't know which way to turn, don't know which boat to burn.

Strangers in love, Strangers in love
Strangers in love, Strangers in love

The End Of The Line (3:35)
(Graham Russell)

This will take some understanding
I believe someone is sending
Love to us and everyone who cares to take a gamble sometimes
Think of me I've given all I can
Stretched an arm and open hand to you so never say no

(Chorus)
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

You I need, always needed
Don't turn back for any reason
First we talk and then we fall headfirst into each others thinking
Please be where I'll always see you
Life is short
The twinkle of an eye is all we have until we say

(Chorus)

Take me away, take me away, take me away

Do you dream fantasy and believe what you see is weird
I need a remedy or a book to get off this fear
All I wanted to know is how do I get the truth from here
We play so small a part, but we started from somewhere

All the friends that I can think of
Know what's going to happen to them
If they don't think on today and plan ahead for their tomorrow
Here we are just lucky children
Breaking out of the shell
I'll take your hand today and love you 'til we reach

The end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line

Take me away, take me away, take me away

Do you dream fantasy and believe what you see is weird
